2026 Grand Prix
First Grand Prix on the calendar we store: 2026. These notes are for F1RaceDraft predictions — fan-made, not affiliated with the FIA or Formula 1. Length and lap counts come from our circuit file, not from live timing.
Overtaking
Treat 2026 as a first look. Use practice long runs more than last year’s template — there isn’t one.
Tyres
Wait for FP2 long runs. Do not copy Barcelona or Silverstone blindly.
DNF calls
Unknown. Do not invent a safety-car rate for a new layout.
Fastest lap
Default to a car still in the points with a free stop.
Podium
Weight Saturday and Sunday practice equally until the weekend shows a pattern.
P1, P2 and P3 are three exact calls. A driver who only “podiums” in the wrong slot scores zero for that place. Use the layout notes above, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page.
What to do with the notes
Overtaking, tyres, retirements, fastest lap and the podium are separate calls on the six. Read them as circuit character, then lock the card on the Grand Prix page. The notes are not a predicted result.
